Sorry if this is an obvious subject, but I'm kind of in doubt.
I was wondering how I could check what the stock firmware was that came with the phone. I'd like to re-flash it back to stock so I could get the stock updates again.
Right now when I enter *#1234# it says;
PDA: I9100XXKH3
PHONE: I9100XXKH3
CSC: I9100OXAKH3
Build Info: Fri Aug 12 11:20:51 KST 2011
Is the "KH3" part also the stock version? Because that's the version of the custom ROM I flashed.
What region are you in? Did you buy it of a specific carrier?

Look for KPN in first post and flash one of those.
Thanks a lot, I didn't find that post yet! And if I reset the custom binary count with a jig it'll be under warranty again after this flash right?
Stock rom no root and custom rom counter zero = Samsung Warranty valid .

Not kernel,What stock ROM/Firmware do you want??
If you only want the stock kernel then you will need to give us the original firmware you have on your phone.
unable to locate stock rom
I have recently purchased an sgs2 (actually came to my senses and swapped it for a blackberry) and have been scouring the forum for information on how to restore the rom to stock so I have a base to start from. I am new to Android so excuse my ignorance on this. If I do a *#1234# I get the following:
PDA: I9100XXKI3
PHONE: I9100XXKI3
CSC: I910OXAKI3
Build Info: Thu Sep 15 13:53:07 KST 2011
I am based in South Africa and can use the phone as normal but it does currently seem to be a bit unstable and the Market Place crashes fairly regularly on the phone. My carrier is Vodacom South Africa and from research the ROM I have on the phone is a generic for Europe (not sure if this is relevant).
In Kies, there is a message that says updates cannot be done using KIES.
I have tried download the stock ROM from the links on the forum but multiupload.com seems to be down or has very high congestion.
HELP PLEASE!!!

The real question I have is which is the correct ROM to download? There is such a lot of information that I am totally confused now.
On all the posts I've seen so far the one to download for South Africa could be many different versions. What is the relevance of this information?
XWKI4
Firmware info
PDA:XWKI4
PHONE: XXKI1
Date: 14/09/2011
Android 2.3.4
What information do I use to determine the correct version of file to download. I am completely confused by the mass of information available, especially considering my phone is currently running what I assume to be XXKI3 which is non south african.
Could it be that my phone was originally purchased in Europe? If thisd is so should I be installing a version of ROM for that region or will any region do?
Bazilla said:

What firmware was on the phone originally or what firmware do you want .

Who knows ???
CSC: I910OXAKI3 but that reads as Polish CSC from memory .
Its normal to download the firmware for the location the phone is being used in .
Its also usual to download the latest version .
Its the CSC that gives local network details and the baseband /modem that may be changed if poor reception .
XILA2
Android 2.3.6
This package has: PDA: XILA2| Modem/phone: XXKL1| CSC: XEUKH2
Latest posted for the UK .
I would flash that enter network settings if needed manually .
CSC or modem can be changed later .
Note multiupload is closed down for good you will need a Google search or Sammobile .com for firmware .

This is a South African Firmware and although its 2.3.4 it contains the regional info (CSC) that you need to make it stable.Dont forget to do a factory reset after flashing.
Hi,
I'm looking through this forum, since I have made mess in my galaxy S2 I9100,
I have put another kernel on when I would roote phone, but have now had problems with it will not update so now shows with the little update icon in the left corner, now I would like to have it back to the original kernel, but forgot of course to write it up before I rooted, I've tried with a XWKF3 that should be stock for my model, however, my phone does not start when the kernel is loaded in the phone
Hope some could help me,
Best Regards

Hi
Im new here and new to samsung as i purchased a S3 and absolutely love it so far (goodbye iphone!)
The item is on the network '3' and locked to 3 so what i want to do is debrand the phone so there would be no more 3 pre-installed apps and logos and then root the phone and try the voodoo unlock app to try and unlock it.
I know how to root the phone and install the apk file I am just confused on how to debrand the phone using odin, i do not know which specific firmware I should be using.
I would REALLY APPRECIATE it if someone could send me a direct download link to the network/carrier free firmware that I need to flash my phone and the specific version of Odin that I need and a video/picture tutorial on how to flash as i have never flashed android firmwares.
Here are some details which may help:
Model number: GT-I9300
Android version: 4.0.4
Product code:
firmware version: AP: I9300XXALF6
CP: I9300NELF1
CSC:I9300H3GALF1
kERNEL version: 3.0.15-705505-user se.infra:SEP-65 #1
For some reason when I type the code *2767*4387264636# to find out my phones product code nothing comes up.
Thank you in advance!
You need to root via Odin.
Then flash this following ops instructions via recovery

No only if you hit network problems .

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1671969
CSC is the consumer software customisation and is specific to geographical region and carriers. It contains the software packages specific to that region, carrier branding and also APN settings for data connection, MMS etc for your service provider.
CSC has nothing to do with what languages the firmware supports and it will not add keyboard language support either.

meant to say.... is this up to date? as the phone has been unlocked i am unsure How i will recieve updates.
What do you mean is it up to date ??
What does KIES say ???
Ask 3 UK what their latest firmware is ..
You are dependent upon your vendor to push out the updates
Or are you asking is what is the last released firmware that may not be for your phone ??
LG8 LG9 some countries only LH1 some countries only modem only update .
You could join XDA Developers and flash whatever you want .

KIES says it is uptodate. ut i see there are more recent ones on xda.
This phone was bought via ebay as unlocked, i am using a t mobile sim , I have no idea if i should expect t mobile/samsung or three.co.uk (who the phone is from originally) to update any firmware. I am not keen on rooting and flashing as everything is working and i am more concerned about a reliable device. I guess there are differences if done OTA or via USB/Kies ?

Yes but not for your phone but they will work on your phone .

The original seller 3UK is your update souirce ..
I am not keen on rooting
But a stock rom does not require rooting its a standard Samsung rom
and flashing as everything is working and i am more concerned about a reliable device. I guess there are differences if done OTA or via USB/Kies
OTA is usually a smaller patched firmware Kies would be a full rewrite .
But thats guesswork not seen Kies or OTA on my phones for years .
99% of XDA involves rooting or flashing as that's why we exist .

however now using Kies it says your device does not support software upgrading via vies. I guess i may get OTA ones.
If Kies says this, your phone isnt on the software version it shipped with.
is that a problem ?, i guess it is because i flashed the above ?

Hello,
About a half year ago I lost mij IMEI. I used a custom rom and then tried to flash back to my stock rom without making a backup... I had to use the UK firmware that im still using today, this had something to do with the basebands (was told me):
Current firmware i'm using:
Androidversion: 4.1.2, baseband version I9300XXEMG4, kernelversion: 3.0.31-1314436 [email protected] #1 SMP PREEMPT Tue Jul 16 20:28:36 KST 2013, buildnummer JZO54K.I9300XXEMG4

Now I see there is a new firmware for my country (Netherlands)
New firmware:
Model: GT-I9300
Country: Netherlands
Version: Android 4.3
Changelist: 2191747
Build date: Tue, 26 Nov 2013 08:03:22 +0000
Product Code: PHN
PDA: I9300XXUGMK6
CSC: I9300PHNGMK1
MODEM: I9300XXUGMK6
Click to expand...

I thought maybe this new firmware has the same basebands as I am currently using. So my question: Should I flash the new firmware that is available for my country or do I still have to use the UK version? My goal is to have my phone as original as possible. I know some stuff about rooting but i'm sertainly not a pro. If you guys need more information or screenshot in order to help me please tell me! You are my last hope...
Thanks you very much!
Greetings
Questions go in the q&a forum, report your own post and ask a moderator to move it.
Your imei problem was likely due to efs folder changes samsung introduced. If it works on EMG4 then it should be okay on GMK6.
Backup your efs before you do anything.

Thanks
Thanks, i'll try tonight! Maybe someone could post a link with a tutorial how to back up EFS. Not just for me, but for everyone that has similair problems! If it worked i'll let you know!
EDIT: My phone needs to be rooted to backup the EFS, but it's not rooted. I'm afraid that when I root my phone I lose my IMEI like before. What should I do? Just flash the stock rom of root it first and then try to back it up (with the risk I lose my IMEI and can't go back to my current using firmware, and then flash the stock rom...
I've downloaded the new firmware and when I extract the zip file, there is only these two files:
-I9300XXUGMK6_I9300PHNGMK1_I9300XXUGMK6_HOME.tar
-SS_DL.dll
Please help me (and many others) to solve this problem. Thanks a lot!

Just flash the new firmware thru Odin. Check in youtube how to use ODIN.
You have to choose that tar file under PDA in Odin.
There should not be any problem. But you will loose all softwares,contacts,sms etc. The phone will be as good as comes from factory.
